Honeywell, in collaboration with the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), has announced the establishment of a Centre of Excellence in Singapore. This initiative, powered by the Honeywell Forge IoT platform, aims to deploy AI and machine learning technologies to help building owners and operators reduce carbon emissions from commercial buildings. The centre supports the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and the nation’s target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
The Centre of Excellence will utilise the Honeywell Forge IoT platform, a predictive maintenance and energy management solution, to provide a comprehensive view of a building’s life cycle and energy use. This integration will enable building decision-makers to enhance their visibility into energy management, optimisation, and predictive analytics, ultimately improving maintenance needs.
Buildings contribute to over 20% of Singapore’s carbon emissions, according to the Building and Construction Authority. Honeywell’s centre aims to collaborate with building owners and operators to deploy solutions that align with the Singapore Green Plan’s carbon-reduction goals. Nigel Brockett, President of Asia Pacific at Honeywell, stated, “Buildings represent a significant opportunity for carbon reduction, particularly when owners can effectively monitor and optimise energy use to manage their environmental impact.”
The centre is expected to commence operations in 2025, initially focusing on Singapore-based sectors such as healthcare, data centres, and education. By 2026, Honeywell plans to extend its services to other Southeast Asian nations, addressing their specific sustainable building goals. Lim Tse Yong, Senior Vice President at EDB, expressed optimism about the centre’s potential, stating, “We look forward to the impactful solutions this Centre will develop for Singapore and the wider region.”
This partnership with EDB aligns with Honeywell’s focus on automation and sustainable solutions, reinforcing its commitment to addressing global environmental challenges.
